Today, healthcare engineering promises to bring tremendous benefits and opportunities to the diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases for a better quality of life. In the meantime, healthcare engineering also presents unprecedented performance and challenges in the entire process of data collection, processing, analysis, synthesis, and visualization. The wide deployments of various healthcare systems have also raised a critical issue to health informatics caused by the sheer volume and high complexity of health data collected anywhere and anytime. Novel signal and information processing algorithms, models, systems, and platforms are needed to support the analysis, use, interpretation, and integration of diverse health data. This symposium is aimed at addressing various data analytics issues in this area. The emphasis of this symposium will be developing new signal and information processing methods and tools for emerging healthcare applications.</p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><span class=""> <o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><b class="">Topics of interest include but are not limited to:</b></p><ul class=""><li class="">Physiological data analysis (EEG, EMG, PPG, etc.)</li><li class="">Pattern recognition & computer vision for healthcare</li><li class="">Visualization for healthcare big data</li><li class="">Biometrics for healthcare</li><li class="">Body sensor networks</li><li class="">Medical image analysis for healthcare</li><li class="">Multimodal integration for healthcare</li><li class="">Rehabilitation engineering</li><li class="">Action/emotion/behavior analysis for healthcare</li><li class="">Human-computer interface</li><li class="">Smart homes for aged care</li><li class="">Emerging healthcare applications</li></ul><div class=""> </div><p class="MsoNormal" align="left"><b class="">Paper Submission:</b><span class=""><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="">Prospective authors are invited to submit full-length papers (up to 4 pages for technical content including figures and possible references, and with one additional optional 5th page containing only references) or extended abstracts (up to 2 pages), for paper-less industry presentations and Ongoing Work presentations) via the GlobalSIP 2017 conference website.
